Always thought this should be the case
Couldn't possibly be that they are horrible interviewees, or they failed in previous head coaching opportunities, or they call somebody else's offensive plays, or there are more qualified people that made better impressions.
The Bills make a championship game for the first time in decades and all of the sudden they start making rules?
Like slavery forced?first, the Rooney rule was always just stupid. You cannot legislate veiled favoritisms from the coaching process. That said, its idiotic to try to force someone to hire a man of color because they are minority...just weird and wrong. When I hire someone, NONE of that factors in...I could care less..all things are equal. I just want the best person..the best hire for the job. LARGELY, I think the NFL is that way. MAYBE not always, but is today more than ever. I say just hire the best man or woman for the job and shove the stupidity with the rule changes up your arse...People will come around in time. ALL the rules in the world won't force change. PEOPLE DO..RELATIONSHIPS DO...now as far as the finer details of this rule propasal..Brian Daboll is HC material..so I agree with some of its premise. Guys need to be able to interview., Maybe I am misunderstanding this proposal. Maybe someone can explain it better to me.
whoa man...lol..not what I am sayin. Coaches are not forced to be in the NFL against their will...not sure what you mean..but ok. I think skillset and qualifications over skin color should always be the thing a potential team looks at. Ones tone should NEVER EVER be an issue. We all equal. We don't need a rule for that.Like slavery forced?
Yes in a perfect world what you say should be the case but it obviously is not a perfect world and those biases do exist.whoa man...lol..not what I am sayin.

humans be like that, your correct. AGREE...just saying, I highly doubt jamming rules or tweaking the existing rule would do much. It will take good people to do the right thing and be unbias when they hire. I think one guy who should be a HC right now is Eric Bienemy. He has earned the right to get a serious look, based off his body of work and record/results. I can see why Watson is pissed...look what the Texans did lol..hired just a guy off the staff of the Ravens or whatever...Joe blow lol...really dumb hire. Bizarre. Texans look like a dumpster fire..and hey..maybe some of that was an ill advised contract they gave Watson. Maybe they shouldnt have been so fast to do that. I dont think he suddenly fell out of love with the team after signing it 5 months ago lol..Bienemy would be a perfect fit there to ressurrect that club and heal whatever is going on between Watson and the team.Yes in a perfect world what you say should be the case but it obviously is not a perfect world and those biases do exist.
People don't get this sometimes, Ive found. I tried convincing one of my coworkers last month to interview for a job he wanted but was unlikely to get. I told him there is alot of value in seeing how their interview process works, as well as the ability to present yourself as a strong candidate.Not knowing how interviews are done and the type of back and forth that is there.
Now that's the positive thinking we need! That's the only thing Jerry and Jerry Jr are ahead of the curve on, lolWe were ahead of the curve! We can’t miss out if we never make the playoffs!
This makes a hell of a lot of sense.So Jacksonville couldn’t have hired Urban Meyer (who wasn’t even in the league) until after the NFC/AFC championship games?
I understand the playoff assistants needing to get a fair shake but this doesn’t seem like a great idea.
As much as NFL teams want to win, I’m pretty sure that had anyone wanted to hire Bowles, Beinemy, etc. they would have simply waited until after the SB to hire them.
Jacksonville wanted Meyer, so they hired him. Philly wanted the closest thing they could get to Frank Reich, so they took his offensive coordinator.
Those two teams hired who they thought was the best guy to help them win. They didn’t hire them because they didn’t want to wait for Beinemy and Bowles to be done. If they would have wanted those guys, they would have waited and hired them.
Plenty of playoff assistants have been hired in the past. Those guys just weren’t wanted this year.

The problem with this whole post is that it doesn't account for bias. The NFL was doing it that way forever, before the Rooney Rule and there was a problem. There are always guys like you who go on and on on how unfair the Rooney rule is, but never suggest any alternative methods to fix the problem. They just want the status quo, owners who hire people who they are "comfortable" with or remind them of themselves.first, the Rooney rule was always just stupid.
